In my opinion, if you’re an interior designer and you land a gig to decorate and stage model homes than you have it made. Think about it. No wishy-washy clients to deal with, a healthy budget to shop with and it’s your own vision and taste all the way.
An afternoon touring model homes is my kind of day. My poor boys get dragged all over town looking at model homes. Kirsten at 6th Street Design School recently visited the Salt Lake Parade of Homes and photographed her favorites. I couldn’t stop thinking about the pics so I’m reposting them and living vicariously through her.
Finally, someone figured out what to do with gigantic sloped ceilings!
There’s only a few things commonly hung from a ceiling…chandeliers, ceiling fans or drapes.
Bravo to this designer for breaking the rules.
The perfect marriage between upholstery and leather.
Could this vintage cart be any cooler?
Clever.
Clearly this designer has unique vision.

Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
i love looking at model homes they are so much fun to get inspiration from.
That use to be a pasttime for me on the weekends. Go and check out all the model homes in the area. Now we have a show Hot on Homes, I look at that instead.
Ha! I love the salt and pepper chess pieces. Definitely clever.
The vintage chart is actually from Ikea! 🙂
Love the salt and pepper shakers
I agree! I saw this tour on 6th Street and thought it was impressive! I love it when model homes are truly designed well!
Oh i love this pouf-cloud-sky-something at the ceeling in the bedroom;)
It is a very beautiful and unique model home, love it!
Lovely greetings…
Love that vintage cart! I have never seen THAT at IKEA??????
I love those pictures! If I didn’t have low ceilings in our house, I would totally put something amazing over the bed. To die for!
Do you know what the cloud thing over the bed was made of? Is it fabric poms? Love the idea for my daughters room!
i need me a gig like that! some clients are so fun, while others can be…challenging. i think designing a model home would be heavenly.
My thoughts exactly, perfect job 🙂 Love these pictures!
Thanks for sharing! those are great ideas!
Very nice!!! Love all of the hanging elements and love the salt shakers!!!
Oh that couch!! To die for! Now if only I could solve the problem of dirty kiddo hands and dog fur….
Love the aviation theme too! So fun and different. Nice to see some vintage pieces in the model home!
Oh I just love the stars fabrics, what a fun, boy friendly, idea.

The designer who put that white puffy thing on the ceiling shouldn’t even be called a designer. That is awful looking and I can’t imagine anyone getting a good night’s rest with that hanging over their bed. Unbelivably stupid.
